Abstract:Concave curved roof is the main feature of Chinese traditional architecture, scholars have put forward a variety of hypotheses. It is easy to be reduced to a set logic, and the limitation of the thick roof will be overthrown by the French mansard roof The historical evidence of drainage theory is the wheel artificial car cover ーー“The superior and the inferior, spits the water to be swift and far away”. The problem is that the viscous resistance between rain water and tile can not be ignored, and the advantage of single droplet sliding speed can not be added to the whole rainfall process The theory of daylighting accords with the facts, but it is not the decisive factor of concave curved roof; the theory of reverse suction is not siphon but capillary phenomenon, and the reverse suction of sheet space is greatly reduced; the theory of wind pressure is overturned by the facts; The sliding force is not the main reason for the concave roof; the deflection theory was first put forward by Mr.
